It's slowly starting to warm up. The high next Tuesday is supposed to approach 50 degrees.

I think this is going to be the near-term winter weather pattern with climate change occurring. Periods of cold and snow followed by an above-average warm-up, with cold and snow to follow, repeat, repeat....very heavy snow falls will be mixed in, but will not be the norm.

Unfortunately, this would have devastating effects on the Great Lakes.

We keep going up and down with the fronts. Today has been nice at 50 - From my past in the desert I never thought I would utter that phrase.
This weekend should be good to, up to 60, but they predict rain that never seems to happen.

We were dismissed at noon. It took 2 hours to get home, and there's only an inch or two of snow.

It started to snow here between 4:30 and 5:00. Since it's been so cold it's basically powder just blowing around, nothing particularly sticky. The roads were more or less ok if you were on a main drag but less so on the side streets, the real problem will happen overnight when what was melted by traffic starts to freeze up. I am glad it happened on a weekend and that I no longer have an hour+ commute home.

33 and raining here in Wilmington. If it drops just a tick we're in store for a bad night.

While driving today I saw the roads pre-treated here for the first time. I didn't even think we had the equipment here to handle that.

They pretreated the roads here. I wonder if the driving conditions would have been better had they left the roads dry so the snow could blow around.

My daughter said that they pretreated roads in her NC town. I hope she gets home from work OK. She has NO winter driving experience.
